Gov. Perdue Proclaims June Motion Picture Industry Month
Gov. Bev Perdue has proclaimed June 2009 as Motion Picture Industry Month, recognizing and celebrating the state’s successful film industry.
“When people make films in North Carolina, it means jobs for our people and economic benefits for our economy,” Perdue said. “We are proud of our great history in the industry and look forward to having a leading role in film development for North Carolina.”
The motion picture industry brought $91 million in direct spending to North Carolina in 2008. The industry also employs thousands of people throughout the state.
Recent major motion pictures that have filmed in the state include, “Nights in Rodanthe,” “Leatherheads” and “The Secret Life of Bees.” The CW Network’s popular “One Tree Hill” TV series and hundreds of commercial and industrial productions are filmed each year in North Carolina.
To celebrate Motion Picture Industry Month, North Carolina’s motion picture industry community gathered in Raleigh today, at Halifax Mall, to show support for the state’s impressive film legacy and for the motion picture industry’s key role in supporting the state’s economy.
